How do you feel about motorcycles?

[akathehword]

Big fan actually.

[endof_theline]

That's great. I'm gonna pick you up on one. Half an hour?

[akathehword]

I'll be ready for you. Can't wait to see what you're working with.

[endof_theline]

Just look out for the black Harley Davidson out front. I'll text you when I get there, though.

You knew this was coming.

[ They're about half way to the cabin when they have to pull over for gas. The trip has been real nice so far. It's been comfortable, and somewhat of a relief to get out of the city. He likes it there, of course- but sometimes he just really needs to get away. He never thought he'd be doing that with Natasha.

While she deals with the gas situation, he meanders over to the small store to look at what they've got. It's almost a bigger selection than the bodega on his corner back in Brooklyn. ]

I'm standing here staring at about a hundred snacks. What are you in the mood for?

[blackhourglass]

[Taking little holidays wasn't anything new for Nat. She got away every now and then to keep her sanity, away from the death, away from the killing and constantly needing to live her life as someone else, always wearing walls and different faces-- the life of a spy fit her like a glove, but ever since she'd gained her freedom she'd come to enjoy being able to slip out of it occasionally.

Never did she think she'd bring someone with her on one of these trips though. It was daunting, and yet she felt completely at ease with Bucky, strangely enough. James understood what it was to be a part of her world, and he understood the darkness in her life, and her need to always wear a mask. That was the one reason why she could take hers off when they talked.

Putting gas in the car now, she smiled to herself as she thought about the warmth in her heart he created. Feeling her pocket buzzing she took it out and glanced at it. A swish of lip and a few taps back sent him an answer. ]

Hot tamales, Twizzlers, and chips, your pick. Coke Zero to drink. Let's go wild. Car trip snacks never have calories and can be eaten at any time of the day.

[endof_theline]

They surprisingly have all of those things. If I come back with two bags, that's totally on you.

[ He laughs to himself as he sends the text, then proceeds to start piling things into his arms. He still forgets to eat all the damn time, but he's come to discover that he does love snacks.

After he's got about two grocery bags full in his hands, he goes to the register to pay. The lady behind the counter raises her eyebrows, but at least it's about the food and not who he is. Like Natasha, he's grateful for the freedom he's gained, but it's nice to slip out of himself every once in a while. This trip is promising for exactly that, because Natasha knows what it's like. She understands the feeling better than anyone.

He heads back to the car with his bag of snacks, holding them up at his sides when he sees her.]

I warned you.

[blackhourglass]

[Casually leaning against the small sized SUV they've rented for the trip, Nat can see Bucky wandering through the store window. She starts to laugh quietly to herself when he begins to fill his arms with snacks. Nat asked for three small things. She didn't even need a full sized bag of chips, but they would work for when they got to the cabin. Nat already had a bunch of groceries packed away, but more snacks never hurt.

When he came out with two full bags swinging in the New York breeze, Nat's laughter became palpable. Her hands landed on her hips as she watched him approach. ]

We're going to have to toss out some of the luggage to make room for all those snacks, mister.

[There was obviously plenty of room, but she had to pick on him somehow.]

[endof_theline]

I couldn't decide!

[He's glad she's amused, and he laughs with her. Decision making is hard, but he's glad he gets the chance to make them these days. Coming on this trip with Nat is probably the best one he's made so far, and it's barely just begun.

Of course she's only joking, and he stashes the bags in the back seat, grabbing one of the ones she wanted and a weird bag of ketchup flavored chips for himself.]

Want me to drive for a while?

[ It's early. Like 4:30am early on what looks like is gonna be a rainy, dreary day. Maybe Kate should be used to his early morning communications by now. Either that, or she must be fully annoyed. ]

Hey.
You know how people do the whole early morning run thing?
You wanna do that, but walk instead?

[straightish]

As long as an iced coffee run is on the agenda, I'm down.

[endof_theline]

I'm good with that. You wanna meet at the coffee place?

[straightish]

yeah, just give me twenty minutes to change out of fuzzy pj pants.

[endof_theline]

Fuzzy pj pants sound nice. You sure you wanna change?

[sine_metu]

This is probably going to be bad. As a warning.

[ The neon sign for Josie's is absolutely off center and out of focus. ]

If you'd like to grab a beer I'll be here for an hour at least.

[endof_theline]

Hey, it's my favorite kind of invitation. "This is gonna be bad, please join me."

I'll be there soon.

[sine_metu]

I actually just meant the picture I sent. Hopefully it's not a bad night.

I'll be at the bar.

[endof_theline]

[ It doesn't take him too long to get there. He heads inside and spots Matt, going over to the bar. ]

Hey, man. It's Bucky.

[sine_metu]

[ Matt picks him up when he's a block away. The mechanical arm has a very distinctive sound. He turns towards the sound of his voice as if he didn't hear him coming and offers him a hand in greeting. ]

Hi. You didn't have any trouble finding the place did you?

[ He taps a finger on the bar. ]

Josie, a beer for my friend please.

[endof_theline]

No, no problem at all. I used to come around this way a lot.

[He shakes Matt's hand, sliding onto the stool next to him, glancing at the bartender- Josie- and giving her a nod in greeting.]

Thanks. So is this your usual hangout?
